@Arko PA6T is a Soc alright, and it's used in embedded motherboards created for the Military and Aerospace industries. Systems form X-Es and Varisys are just a few examples, what you linked uses a very noisy and power hungry 970MP which has no correlation to the above markets, industries and type of CPUs used there (I didn't say it is the most powerful PPC but the most powerful DualCore Soc for embedded use). Ferrel implied the chip was discontinued due to being surpassed when in its own market It is not (in the embedded low-power consumption world, far weaker CPUs are still in production simply because the company that makes them it's still around). The reason it's no longer produced is to be linked to PASemi's own history.
@Damocles Don't let me go search for the link, I'm sure Pavlor will post it as soon as he gets back Note: that was an example of irrelevant benchmarking not a good one. I mentioned it because posting a an irrelevant bench that depicts the PA6T badly or posting an irrelevant bench where the PA6T shines, will do US (amigans) no good. When the X1000 will be out we'll do street benchs with real desktop applications, that will indeed be helpful.
